VISION
People depend on earth’s living system for both lives and livelihood. Coastal communities and ecosystem are bound together by strands of a web of life that is both resilient and complex.

MISSION
Biodiversity of all living organisms are of decisive importance for the global survival. Conserving biodiversity with sustainable human habitat is COPDANET'S prime mission.

PERSPECTIVES
Coastal poor depend on earth’s living systems for both life and livelihood. Every twenty minutes a plant and an animal species is lost. COPDANET’S perspective is to bind people together through environment consciousness to last for generations.

OBJECTIVES
The coastal resource base and the vulnerable coastal poor cannot afford to import resources when their ecosystem fails. COPDANET lobbies with policy makers and stakeholders for a participatory management of Costal resource, locally nationally and globally.

India has a long coastal belt more than 7500 kilometers including Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The list of socio environmental issues faced by the coastal population are too many and frightening especially when you think about climate change and global warming.
